If the Pirates continue down the road of a rebuild, Josh Harrison doesn’t want to be a part of it.
Harrison released a statement Tuesday to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic saying that he wants to play for a winner and wants the opportunity to do so if winning isn’t in Pittsburgh’s near-term plans.
“Baseball is a business and I understand that trades are part of the business. While I love this game, the reality is that I just lost two of my closest friends in the game. Cole and Cutch were not just friends, they were the best pitcher and best position player on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
